I became aware of BMTH with their album There is a hell believe me I've seen it There is a heaven let's keep it a secret, that had besides compelling, innovative, energetic music, great cover art. Same attributes add up with the group's latest album, Sempiternal, with the fantastic cover art. Look.
New age flower / geometric symbol / UFO crop circle mystery - art. Nothing to add. Look it up.
The cover art was the first thing that caught my attention, since I recently became aware of this geometric symbol, its roots and mystery. But that's a side issue. Something of an anecdote, nonetheless. A quirk.
Next on, here's the music video for "Shadow Moses".
At this point, I wasn't convinced. Not until I heard the complete album. The starting tracks, as in any album, are pivotal for the listener to be sucked in the soundscape of the album, which I might describe as speedy, aggressive Linkin Park. I don't know still if this comparison is at all respectful, for both of the artists. Bring Me the Horizon has a unique sound, but at times I can't help feeling there's a striking similarity between vocals of BMTH and Linkin Park. For better or for worse, that's you to decide.
